We have so much top soil here that putting fine gravel over dirt is always a disaster. New drives have to be cut about 12" deep,dirt hauled off, filled with big rock and then covered with fines. Things are much cheaper and simpler down there! I just hope all your viewers don't think this is ok method for all areas. The new skid loader is the Bomb! Nice job on ditch cut also,Chris!
He's one of the best I've ever seen. I also need a 4 in 1 bucket...but before I get that I gotta actually buy a machine. I live vicariously through Chris' jobs and skillsets.
@@eliteearthworksllc I was thinking the same thing... "When is Brandon going to get a 4-1 bucket"... "and a bigger skidsteer"... "and a bigger coochie"
nice work You got that 4 n 1 bucket working the best I have witnessed to date on a skid steer ... as it's been stated = Practice makes progress ( Smile )
Nice job Chris. That new Takeuchi is whisper quiet, and gets your jobs done efficiently. You might actually be able to hear your music inside. I wish every other machine could be that silent, too many machines mistakenly equate engine noise with power. Thank you again for the videos.
You are a master with that 4 in 1 bucket. I have one too and they are trickier to use than it looks. That must have been an expensive job if you had to bring 3 pieces of equipment to the site. I probably would have just used the skid. But if they are willing to pay then I'm sure the other pieces improved the quality of the job.
Can really see what an advantage you have having the bucket open on the skidsteer like that in this video. Makes it a cinch to scrape grass off and spread materials, plus makes cleaning things up like the grass you scraped off much quicker and simpler.
Great looking job, funny thing is i used to work with this older guy who was the bosses friend but the way you and him say "well i drove" is the same dam way, But his usaly ment he just drove the grader threw the garage.
I enjoy a few of you guys on TH-cam, but I’ve come to notice you seem to be in a league by yourself when it comes to making the machine do exactly what you want. Others are great and you seem slightly better than that. Thanks for sharing.
Man a 4 in 1 bucket is awesome once you’ve got some seat time with one and learn how to use them to there fullest. Once you use a good one then a regular bucket is annoying. Lol. You keep trying to open it when It doesn’t.
Chris, have you seen or used the implement that attaches to an excavator arm which is designed for grading out perfectly contured land swales ? I watched one being used and was really impressed as to how easy it was for the operator to grade a continuously even swale on the side of a road. It really appeared to be worth the investment to purchase the tool. As always that was a nice looking job you did on this one.
Man that looks pretty love that ditch on the 1st one how do you like that bucket you said you Weren't sure about how it would back drag when you 1st but that machine
Chris, I just bought a used Yanmar VIO55-5B for my farm. It is coming with an 18" bucket. Wondered if you had any advice on what the biggest bucket it will handle, for upstate SC dirt which is primarily red clay. Thx in advanced for any advice.

Using that compactor puts a nice finish on those grading jobs. What is nice about that is if they wanted to pave it they could.
thats the difference between amateur and the pros
Man that TL 12 has one hell of a back up alarm
Great job! Nice to hear the sounds of spring too. Snow flurries in the forecast for us Thursday morning.
Why do I suddenly feel I need a 4-1 bucket? 😂. Awesome job man, driveway looks great!
That's exactly what I was thinking, and I don't even do it for a living!
Well, let's be honest Brandon everyone's been on your ass about getting you a 4 in one since Jesus wore diapers 😂.
me too just don't know if it makes sense on a bx2680
Sandy that explains it 🤣!
@@eliteearthworksllc I was thinking the same thing... "When is Brandon going to get a 4-1 bucket"... "and a bigger skidsteer"... "and a bigger coochie"
you're so skilled with the grader and skidsteer, it is a pleasure to watch you work..
Looks great 👍 another beautiful job. Thanks for your videos.
That bucket makes all the difference. Big time saver. That and a good operator. Looking good.
Chris I have been watching you for some time now and you have great knowledge of what you do and you have the machines to do your work.
That bucket is amazing. Nice job
Really liked the back drag with the 4 in 1 bucket. Dragging is always smoother than pushing.
love the driveway and that shop. nice job.
That "lil" skid steer is really something. So versatile. Nice piece of machinery.
You sir, have a very good eye for level! Great job!
That was a proper ditch job, well done indeed.
That skid steer is surprisingly quite.
Thanks for the video.
Oh, and excellent job!
Great job Chris thanks for sharing have a great day
Very nice finished project!
Great job Chris. 👍👍🇵🇪🐕
Nice job looks great, that some slick operating.
Nice job well done Chris.
I gotta compliment you. Your one hell of an operator. And thats coming from a guy whos got 25 plus thousand hours in a excavator.
That clam shell bucket really makes grass stripping a quick and nice looking job.
Best machine! Even better operator!
Nice video and job well done Chris. 👍👍👍👍
Another brilliant job Chris. Like it a load. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good job Chris as always, I can hear that old Rooster in full song in the background
Great job on the driveway 👍
It would be cool in a future video if you show how you dug the ditch on the sides of the driveway, it looks really well done.
You seem legitimately impressed with the new skidsteer. You make it look easy lol.
I've ran skid steer more in the last 3 weeks than I have in 2 years haha
No words, except looks dam good!! 😊
Very nice work on the driveways!
That was a damn beautiful ditch. So refreshing to see a ditch put in that isn't 6 ft deep
Nice work Chris they should be happy with how it turned out.
Smooth and efficient!
Be proud be very proud cause that looks goooooood
You do a fantastic job
nice work
You got that 4 n 1 bucket working the best I have witnessed to date on a skid steer ...
as it's been stated
= Practice makes progress ( Smile )
Dang your one smooth operator sir.
Nice job Chris. That new Takeuchi is whisper quiet, and gets your jobs done efficiently. You might actually be able to hear your music inside. I wish every other machine could be that silent, too many machines mistakenly equate engine noise with power. Thank you again for the videos.
Makes all the difference in the world when you have the right equipment to do the job:)

I probably would have just used the skid. But if they are willing to pay then I'm sure the other pieces improved the quality of the job.
That's a great improvement
Nice job on both jobs bro.
You have done another great job on that Project is so good 👍 I love ❤️ your video 📷 the are best thing I can't wait for the video 📷 #letsdig18
You seem to like playing with that 4 in 1... Looks like you have been using it for years. Great work.
Ditches look awesome
Chris, looks nice!
Can really see what an advantage you have having the bucket open on the skidsteer like that in this video. Makes it a cinch to scrape grass off and spread materials, plus makes cleaning things up like the grass you scraped off much quicker and simpler.
Looks good to me.
You should do a full machine/ trucks tour
That is a good looking DITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you please @letsdig18 have a side by side size comparison of the your skid steer and a normal one ... It looks MASSIVE 😮😱
That bucket sure does make short work good decision on that purchase Chris 👍👍
Man i wish you lived in Tennessee cause I’d have you do my driveway too. Nice job!
Defenitly one of the loudest back up alarms for sure.
Thought my smoke alarm was going off!
could hear it still when I removed my headphones..
Great looking job, funny thing is i used to work with this older guy who was the bosses friend but the way you and him say "well i drove" is the same dam way, But his usaly ment he just drove the grader threw the garage.
Looks good
Man I've got to get one of those buckets for the farm
Chris I have to say brother, you can flat ass run that Skid Steer.
Now that's doing a job right and fast
You use the check out of that four way I like that
I have subscribed to your channel Chris.
That bucket is where it’s at 👍
Great job Chris.......You do good quality work. I wonder if a lot of guys would take the time to “roll” that driveway the way you did?
Cardiackid Jones only when the trees aren’t in the way.
I enjoy a few of you guys on TH-cam, but I’ve come to notice you seem to be in a league by yourself when it comes to making the machine do exactly what you want. Others are great and you seem slightly better than that. Thanks for sharing.
time its money, I got good at it because I have things to do. The quicker I get them done the faster I can get done and more things finished
Looks like an elite earthworks job lol
That reminds me...I need a 4in1 bucket! You sure are meticulous with thing. I didn't realize you could do so much with em. Lumberjake got learnt today
I'm still snowed in. great to see a tree budded out
I enjoyed the rock show!
I love my 4 n 1.
Great job! You took Timmy’s job today lol
Damn , I want one !! ( skid steer )
Those in-and-out in a day jobs are nice! (And profitable)
I Love seeing an American use a 4 in 1 Bucket!!
Me thinks you like the NEW TL12V2 and that bucket. You make fast work without speeding up the camera/video/
Man a 4 in 1 bucket is awesome once you’ve got some seat time with one and learn how to use them to there fullest. Once you use a good one then a regular bucket is annoying. Lol. You keep trying to open it when It doesn’t.

Would it be easier if the dump truck spread it as it drove down the driveway?
Cool.
I don't know Chris, you look pretty happy in the new skid steer.... The Volvo excavator is getting jealous :-)
Slick Napa Mike
Chris do the new Takeuchi loaders still use hydraulic over hydraulic pilot controls? Thanks!
When you open the bucket on the skid stear to scrape, does it have a hardened cutting edge that can be changed when it wears down?
Man that looks pretty love that ditch on the 1st one how do you like that bucket you said you Weren't sure about how it would back drag when you 1st but that machine
There is a time and place for the BACK UP ALARM! Need to put over ride switch on it!
Nice
Now you need road like this at the farm and ditch .
What kind of annual maintenance would be needed on this driveway over time?
Chris, I just bought a used Yanmar VIO55-5B for my farm. It is coming with an 18" bucket. Wondered if you had any advice on what the biggest bucket it will handle, for upstate SC dirt which is primarily red clay. Thx in advanced for any advice.
you like that new skid steer a bit don't you
what kind of stone did you use?
O that's how that bucket works
What kind of gravel did you use in that park way in the end? SB2? Thanks
I thought was Tim running the skid steer there for a minute lol ( just giving you a hard time )
I hope you were right about that bucket being thicker. That is an awful lot of hi speed scraping going on. When will you check it for wear?
good job on the road, but whats to stop it from making ruts in the road again? Cars don't run on the center of the road.
Hi Chris. I really like your videos. Thank You for your service. I am in Cincinnati Ohio.
Im in dayton ohio
What brand of bucket is that?
